The following transfer information applies to all School of Allied Health Professions programs:
- All of our allied health students are considered "transfer students" from other institutions since all of our programs require previous college coursework.
- Loma Linda University does not offer all of the general education prerequisite courses required for entry into our programs on our Loma Linda campus. Our Allied Health programs offered at Loma Linda are specialized allied health coursework in pursuit of advanced Allied Health Professional degrees.
Prospective Allied Health applicants will need to complete the general education requirements at an accredited Community College or University and then transfer to Loma Linda University to complete their chosen Allied Health degree. Degrees are based on specific courses of study and a student must complete the full program or course of study successfully in order to achieve a degree. - Loma Linda University does offer selected general education courses including Natural Sciences
